Adho Andha Paravai Pola – Lyrics and Translation

When I was a child in Australia, someone choreographed an amazing dance for this song. I still remember a lot of it. Go MGR! 🙂

**Adho antha paravai pola vaazha vendum

Idho intha alaigal pola aada vendum

Ore vaanilae ore mannile

Ore vaanile ore mannile

Ore geetham urimai geetham paaduvom

Lallaa laa la. lallaa laa la.

Lallaa laa la. lallaa laa la.**

Over there! We want to live like that bird

Over here! We want to dance like these waves

In the same sky, in the same earth

In the same sky, in the same earth

One song, a song of rights, we will sing

**Kaarru nammai adimai enru vilagavillaiye

Kadal niirum adimai enru suduvathillaiye

Kaalam nammai vittu vittu nadappathillaiye

Kaadhal paasam thaaymai nammai marappathillaiye

Ore vaanile ore mannile

Ore geetham urimai geetham paaduvom

(Adho antha)**

The wind doesn’t think we are submissive

The sea water doesn’t boil because we are under their rule

Time doesn’t pass by leaving us behind

Love, affection and motherhood doesn’t forget us

In the same sky, in the same earth

One song, a song of rights, we will sing

**Thonrumbodhu thaayillaamal thonravillaiye

Sollillaamal mozhiyillaamal pesavillaiye

Vaazhumbodhu pasiyillaamal vaazhavillaiye

Pogumbodhu veru paadhai pogavillaiye

Ore vaanile ore mannile

Ore geetham urimai geetham paaduvom

(Adho antha)**

When we think, we don’t think without consideration of our mother (India)

We don’t speak without proverbs and language

When we live, we don’t live without affection

When we go, we don’t take other paths

In the same sky, in the same earth

One song, a song of rights, we will sing
